Former finance minister Malusi Gigaba's wife, Norma, has rubbished claims by the Hawks that her arrest was linked to an alleged murder plot against her husband, which she says is a "ruse manufactured to justify my harassment using state resources".
She has slammed the Hawks for suggesting she was arrested for allegedly trashing a R3 million black Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG "G-Wagon" during a dispute with her husband and sending an insulting WhatsApp message to his close friend, Peterson Siyaya, because officers were told these charges "may be linked" to an alleged conspiracy to murder Gigaba.
